Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
This music video is just plain fun. The animation has an echo of the 70’s pop-art animation walking the line of psychedelia (ala yellow submarine or sally cruikshank) and is driven along by a peppy techno track. You can’t help but root for the protagonist, and the ending is perfect.
This one’s going on the ‘shiny things’ list.
Animation by Ninja Tune.
This excellent example of projection mapping is from November 2011 and celebrates the 100th anniversary of Seikei Gakuen (Seikei University) in Kichijoji, Japan (near tokyo). The backdrop is one of the campus buildings (though i don’t know which building it is), and is 20 by 70 meters.

Another disturbing glimpse into the mind of Maynard James Keenan.
The “shaky camera” technique comes to animation in this disturbing short. Clearly created on some seriously powerful hardware, Metachaos uses lighting, textures, and repetitive movement (among other things) to create a reflection of madness and despair. The soundtrack, by Jeff Ensign (aka Evolution Noise Slave), grinds in the unsettling imagery even further.
In fact the bodies represented in Metachaos even though they are characterized by an apparently anthropomorphous appearance, in reality they are without identity and conscience. They exist confined in a spaceless and timeless state, an hostile and decadent hyperuranium where a fortress, in perpetual movement, dominates the landscape in defense of a supercelestial, harmonic but fragile parallel dimension. In its destructive instinct of violating the dimensional limbo, the mutant horde penetrates the intimacy of the fortress, laying siege like a virus. Similar to the balance of a philological continuum in human species, bringing the status of things back to the primordial broth.
